Tiger Stadium replica to be built...

in Branson, Missouri

Developers plan to break ground this fall on a series of replica Major League Baseball stadiums for Little Leaguers in the southwest Missouri tourism mecca of Branson.

Backers of the Ballparks of America project are banking on being able to lure the growing number of youth traveling teams to the two-thirds-scale versions of stadiums, including Detroit's Tiger Stadium, which closed in 1999 and was torn down in 2008.
